Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Miss Blanchard, please don't be like this. Anyway, your father is in a good condition! You should be happy! The medical treatment needs to be done one step at a time. Sometimes, it's not a good thing if one recovers too quickly as it might be abnormal." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She kept nodding, but Alicia was already choked with sobs. Just moments ago, she really thought that her father would wake up!

"Your father's current situation shows that he can perceive the outside world. Maybe some parts of his body are still hindering him, thus he can't wake up completely. Once he breaks through it, he can recover naturally. The illness could come overwhelmingly and the healing takes time. The patient has recovered very well up till now! Only your persistence can create a miracle for the patient! As long as you don't give up, there is still hope!"

"Thank you, Doctor. I know, I won't give up..."

Maybe she had been too worked up, thus when she went out of the hospital, Alicia still couldn't stop crying. She squatted down on the road and cried uncontrollably again.

Just as Marshall got out of his car, he saw her and ran over with a few big strides. "Alicia, what's wrong?"

Marshall stretched out his hand and wanted to help her up.

Looking up, Alicia stood up with tears in her reddened eyes. Looking at him, she was still sobbing but she had an alert face.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm! Why are you here alone? Is there something wrong? Tell me and I'll see if I could help."

Seeing that she was crying pitifully and her face was a little dirty, Marshall took out his clean handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for her subconsciously. However, Alicia thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to accost her or to take advantage of her, therefore she took a step back instantaneously.

"It's none of your business. You are so nosy!"

With a roar, she turned around and ran away.

After a pause, Marshall was in a trance for a long time. Then, he pinched his face and mumbled, "Do I look like a bad person?"

God knew that this was his first time taking the initiative to get close to a woman!

"Is this woman blind?"

It was clear that he was being despised, but somehow, Marshall's eyes were still fixed on her. After a while, he saw a white Bentley heading out...

"I didn't realize that she's a rich woman!" He chuckled.

No wonder she had such a temperament and was so cocky! At first glance, she seemed to have a hot-temper, difficult to tame and get close to. However, he happened to be intrigued by women with such temper!

Instead of chasing after her, Marshall turned and entered the hospital building.

Alicia was devastated and stepped on the gas pedal all the way. After finding a place, Alicia stopped the car.

As darkness came, the nightlife in the city began. The streets were full of noise, creating a lively atmosphere. Walking to the pedestrian street on one side, Alicia felt that she needed to calm down. Hence, she went to buy ice cream.

She ate as she strolled along the way, but her mood was indescribably gloomy.

In the past, whenever she encountered something, her father would shoulder it for her. If she was afraid, she would hide behind her father. There was always someone watching her back. But at present, she could only watch him helplessly. She was really tired. She missed the days when her father was there for her!

Her father had warm hands. As long as she held it, she felt like she had endless power. In the past, she was not afraid of anything. It seemed like her father would stand in front of her like a mountain, protecting her. Except for the matter regarding Jeremy, he had never slapped her. When her father was there, she didn't have to worry about anything...

With a faint sigh, Alicia sat down on a lounge chair at a corner with a tired look on her face. "Dad, I miss you so much."

When she was a child, her father would buy her ice cream in the middle of the night. Her mother would sometimes blame her for being so willful, but he said that he would always protect her and spoil her. She was his gem and needed to be treasured before he ran out of chances to do so.

Because his daughter would grow up one day and get married!

Thinking of her father, Alicia couldn't help but sniff again as she ate her favorite ice cream.

Raising her head and looking at the door of the mall across the street, a big neon sign suddenly caught her attention.

They were hiring part-time staff?

After throwing away the ice cream in her hand, Alicia ran over.

Friday to Sunday, from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. every night? One thousand and five hundred dollars? It was about five hundred dollars an hour!

She could have five thousand dollars in three days!

Feeling a little excited, Alicia went in and inquired about it. It turned out that they were doing a promotion for a new perfume and there was a commission of up to 50% of the sales!

This was simply too tempting!

She heard that the store was having a promotional period of a few days. Since the store was quite big and successful, it should not be a scam. Hence, she immediately registered. According to the rules, she first had to pay 200 dollars for the deposit. Then, she took a perfume with a detailed manual back home.

When she left, Alicia's mood was much better. Looking at the shining starry sky, she seemed to have come back to life in an instant.

"Dad, are you blessing me? I have worked so hard, and now I have become successful. I can take things on my own. You will be happy when you see me! You must get better as soon as possible..."

Alicia drove home after gathering her emotions.

After venting for a while, the pressure on her was relieved a little. When she entered her house, she was in a good mood and hummed subconsciously. She did not pay attention that the light was on when she entered.

She was humming as she took her time walking in.

After taking off her shoes, she raised her head and suddenly met a pair of gloomy and cold eyes. She instantly halted!

"What did you do for the whole night? Don't you know what time it is?" Frederick scolded. She came back home at eleven o'clock. He waited for her for three hours!

Looking down, Alicia placed the bag down slowly and pouted her lips subconsciously.

She just didn’t want to come back early!

Looking down, Frederick's eyes fell on the shopping bag in her hand: No wonder she was in a good mood! She went shopping after all.

When Alicia didn't know what excuse to make, Frederick's voice became soft automatically, "Don't be home so late in the future. You have to be back before ten o'clock!"

Alicia responded with no emotions, "Okay, I'm going to get changed then!"

The next second, the beautiful figure had vanished. Frederick was stunned while holding a glass of red wine.

Was it his illusion? Why did he feel like she wasn't into him? Not only did she not cook for him, but she also didn't bother to ask if he had eaten or not? He wondered about this.

Was it because of the way he talked earlier on? Was she upset?

For a moment, Frederick's eyebrows were snapped together as if they couldn't be parted!

In the bathroom, Alicia sighed while taking a shower. Why hadn't he gone for a business trip yet? Shouldn't he have some social activities to attend to? Why did he come back so early?

It was really annoying!

In the past, she couldn't wait to be together with him every minute, but at this moment, Alicia had a feeling that she wanted to die every minute when she saw him.

Human beings were really strange creatures! When you liked someone, you would love him to death. But, when you hated someone, you would hate him from his head to his heel!

Wrapped in a towel, Alicia looked into the mirror and saw a beautiful figure. She then uttered with her head hung low, "How can I avoid him?"
